MY REVIEW
  Jennifer by Dee Henderson is an amazing novel. I’ve read all of the O’Malley books and just love them all, so when Dee wrote and published Jennifer I knew I needed to read it and see how her life started. Makes me want to read the whole series again.
   Jennifer moves to Dallas away from her family in Chicago to start her practice. She loves her family dearly. Seven children all orphans all adopted each other and changed their last names to O’Malley. Jennifer is the youngest.
   Jennifer has a pediatrics practice that specializes in children with severe illnesses. She loves all of her patients greatly.
  She meets Tom another doctor. Tom introduces Jennifer to church and gives her his Bible to read.
  Jennifer falls in love with Jesus and Tom.  They plan on visiting all of the O’Malley’s on the 4th of July and tell them all things that are happening. Then tragedy strikes and Jennifer becomes ill.
  This is an amazing book and it really fills in all of your questions about Jennifer and the things in her life. If you haven’t read the O’Malley series Jennifer is a great place to start. One of my favorite series. A keeper for sure. Highly recommended.

The Living Room Story by Bill Rolfe*A Review


 The Living Room Story by Bill Rolfe

When success and even love are not enough, you need a miracle...
Daniel Clay has good looks, money, and a rising career as a New York investment advisor. Meanwhile, his personal life is barren of love and family. But when a distant relative dies and leaves him a house in England, Daniel embarks on a life-changing journey--toward love and his soul's awakening.

He meets and falls in love with Claire, a children's palliative care nurse. With her help, he opens his home and heart to comfort young patients in their final days. As Claire tends to the children in a beautiful glassed-in room overlooking the sea, Daniel prays for miracles. Just when his prayers are
answered, a mysterious illness strikes him down and relentlessly drains away his life. With no hope for a cure, Daniel holds fast to a deep secret that he can never reveal. And now, he needs a miracle of his own.

Late one night back in July 2002, I fell asleep and had a dream. It was unlike any dream I had before, or since. It was like watching an extended movie, and it ended with instructions for me in the rolling credits. I awoke in shock and glanced at the clock next to my bed, only to discover what seemed like hours of sleep had only been a few minutes.

I got up, sat at my desk and spent the rest of the night writing everything down. Never having written anything before, I took the next few weeks to follow the instructions from the dream - share the story in a novel.

After a few months of being inspired by the story, but at the same time feeling overwhelmed with the project, I put it away. However, I couldn't forget it.

Now, after more than nine years of struggling with the process and battling against my own self-doubt, I'm ready to share the story.

"The Living Room" was my dream.

- Bill Rolfe

MY REVIEW
  The Living Room by Bill Rolfe is a really nice story. As you read in the above section Bill had a dream and wrote down what he dreamed.
  I enjoyed it but if I wrote it I would have changed a few parts.   It ended nicely, but I would have liked a few different things to happen. I won’t tell you what they were so it doesn’t ruin the ending for you.
 Mainly this book is about Daniel a successful business man who didn’t take time for himself and just thought of his career. Then he inherits a house in a different country and decides to go and sell it and also take a much needed vacation at the same time. Then he meets Claire who is a nurse of children who are in the end stages of their lives. They fall in love right away and in Daniel’s house there is a glassed-in room that would be perfect for the children to use. I really like the description of the house and thought it was a really nice part of the book.
  Strange things start happening in this book for Daniel and the children. I thought this part was super also.  I recommend this book for reading enjoyment. It is full of love, death, life and miracles. Really a sweet story all in all. This is the only book Bill Rolfe has written and I think it is great for a first time.
